I'm actually open to restrictions, but I'd like to see the research first. Banning social media for under-16s sounds simple until you realize many countries are struggling to enforce it. Whatever Jamaica does needs to be realistic, not just symbolic. - @TheDevMac876

I agree. We also need to speak about increasing the available social infrastructure in the communities, to support their integration into their community. - @gavinmyaz

Ban them. Also ban tablets in schools. - @R_Winty
